In the walk in cooler there was smokey chop labeled 1-30 and ricotta sauce labeled 1-29. The smokey chop was voluntarily disposed of and the ricotta sauce was removed from the facility and taken to the owners home during the inspection. Discussed emphasizing to employees the importance of date labeling and removing old labels.
In the walk in cooler there were eggs stored over ready to eat foods such as salad dressings and butter. The eggs were moved to the bottom.
Observed employee improperly washing their hands. He touched the handle of the faucet instead using a paper towel. You need to make sure that the paper towel is down before washing hands to make sure you don't have to touch the paper towel dispenser. The owner spoke with the employee. I also left a hand washing handout.
Observed employees not wearing effective hair restraints.
